Hey all,
Yesterday I found a website worth evaluator. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.
http://yakezie.com/forums/blog…..blog-worth
Those numbers look a little inflated and good luck finding a buyer, but that got me thinking.
What dollar amount would make you sell your blog and walk away?

I think that depends on what you get out of it. When I started my first PF blog, I ended up selling it after about 2 years because I really thought I was done with the niche. At that point, I sold pretty cheap because I just wanted to be done. With Beating Broke, I don't want to be done, so the number would have to be significantly higher. That said, if it got into the 5 figures area, I'd seriously consider it.

I'm with BeatingBroke. 5 figure range would make me seriously consider it. I wouldn't just give up though; I think I'd restart elsewhere.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback.  It seems the sweet spot is 5 figures? That website shows most Yakezie folks as six figure blogs. In reading about buying and selling blogs, it seems the going rate is 4 figures. Here's hoping everyone hits their sweet spot one day!

Try http://www.priceofweb.com. They seem to have more realistic figures!

That's a tough question because so much work goes into developing a blog. I would want mid five figures for all of the time and effort.

I wouldn't take anything less than six figures. Even then, I'd have to consider it, I've got a lot of time and effort into the whole thing, so it would have to be a very enticing number.

That's a hard question. If it was just the name of my blog, then I probably would go with $100,000 or so. However, KNS Financial is the name of my business as well. If someone wanted to buy all of my content and my blog name (Faithful With A Few), and the URL, I'd probably need at least $500,000!

as a buyer i'd be interested in annualized income, and make an offer accordingly. online real estate is an interesting field when it comes to appraising the "true value" of a website/blog.

Exactly.
One thing that isn't being considered when people value their own blogs is the amount of work that is required to run one.
I evaluate websites on a purely cashflow basis, with some measure for the amount of time investment. When you buy a blog you are, in many ways, buying a job. That means a time investment, and that is something that is forever short in supply.
